Plot thickens

The mystery surrounding me just gets deeper with time. At a time when all my friends are stepping into the next phase of lives, I am still trying to figure myself out.
From being a person who loved to wake up in the morning to a person who just wants to sleep the entire day off. From a person who remembered arbitrary people's names after having heard it once to a person who, after spending two years with the same bunch of people looks at them in facebook and wonders "Why do I have so many mutual friends with this person" and then realizing that he/she was in my class. Well just add another one to the list. From interacting with people at an intimate level to now interacting with people at a completely superficial level. From a person who loved to work to a person who just doesn't care. From a person who wanted to work in the Environment field to someone who is just confused.
As I try to figure myself out only one sentence rings in my head " Don't worry things have a knack of working out  for the best"

Advent of a new Species

A new species of Homo Sapiens has been found. The details are as follows

Scientific Name: Homo designerectus Sapiens
Language: English with fake american/ australian accent
Places of Inhabitation: anything upmarket like connaught place etc
Appearance: Designer starting from hair, face basically everything looks as if it has gone under some kind of knife

Here the details of my encounter with one such being

Metro is an integral part of my life and it is here that I spend an hour daily. There was this lady sitting next to me looked normal( HOMO SAPIENS) but then she felt hungry. In the metro, you are not allowed to eat anything (since Indians as yet have not learnt the art of keeping their surrounding clean, it's not paper taught in any B-School Damn the B-Schools)
Anyways this lady started eating but nobody said anything as feeling hungry is very natural process, what insinuated homo sapiens around was what followed the eating part. She dropped rice which fell on her bag on the floor.
Homo sapiens around objected but she being a superior specie and having a higher volume and completely incomprehensible definition of "sorry" got her way. This was the conversation that ensued.

Homo Sapiens (HS): Please pick that up. Do not throw it on the floor
Homo Designerectus Sapiens: I am sorry but it's under the seat
HS: Please pick it. You are not allowed to eat in the metro.
HDS: listen LADY! I was hungry and I have apologised.
(last when i heard apologising meant correcting what you have done wrong. OOPS sorry forgot SUPERIOR SPECIE)
HS(reiterating):Please pick it. You are not allowed to eat in the metro.
HDS : I have already apologised and you do not have to re-Iterate it agan and agan
(re- Iterate was spoken as two words "Re" and "IITERATE" . have to call up Oxford Dictionary and ask them to change the pronunciation and "agan and agan" is supposed to be " again and again")

But homo sapiens being the inferior specie here lost the war on account of low volume.
DAMN IT

Going to the Movies

The three of us decided to go for a movie on Saturday Night, it being the last night all of us would be together at least for a week to come. First up we were faced with the question -"Which movie to watch?". One wanted to see "Dil toh baccha hai" another wanted to see " No one killed Jessica" and I wanted to see "127 hours" so we decided to go for "Yeh Saali Zindagi"(the expletives are there in the name ) at 9:40 pm.
We had chaat before we got having a very hurried dinner. Anyways 15 minutes before the movie began, we were on our way to hall.
As we entered the mall, seeing candy treat in front of my eyes, me the super foodie when it comes to chocolates only not otherwise decided to get some to eat during the movie. But alas, our chocolates got confiscated by the security people( I was thinking the reasons would be security threat, you never know what people can do nowadays with chocolate they might just blow up the entire hall so I decided to let them go for the sake of security but no the reasons turned out to be more capitalist in nature) and while this was happening on our end movie had started without any regard for us. Anyways the movie was more or less about killing people as if people are just born to die so it doesnt matter when you kill them or if they a natural death. Anyways this carried on for exactly 2hours and 20 minutes and after some 20 deaths and about 100 slaps later we came out( which makes it exactly 12:00 am).
On the way I noticed something very bizarre -- people have a tendency to use the escalator no matter how crowded it is.
I was once again in the company of my chocolates so decided not to bother anyone but just eat them. But then something happened ( it's not as if a meteor fell or we were lifted by UFOs it just that I find it funny), one of this started laughing uncontrollably after eating them. Whether it was the chocolates or the dead of the night or the movie which led to it still remains a mystery which shall be investigated further next week.

Till we meet again
Bye and so long. Thank you for the chocolates.

Yes, I am in a relationship

Off late a good friend asked me about my relationship status and I replied in the negative. After a series of discussions over this wherein I was told by this friend "how essential relationships are in the life of a human" and later concurring on the fact that I am perhaps (actually mostly certain) not human but either an alien or artificial Intelligence and how this theory would actually lay to rest the mystery surrounding me, I got thinking ,"well I should be in one". So here I am, in one. Well friend, if you are reading this (which I doubt) thank you for enlightening me. The details are given below. (Friend: But now I have a question -- Does this mean I am no longer an alien or AI but human, a mere human?)

We have known each other for quite a long time and have been good friends throughout. He has always been there, on the way to and back from school, to those hangouts in the evening.
I even used to come back early from college just to spend some extra time with him, we have always been together but never realized it.
Even when other things became more important in my life, he was there in the background always there for me to lean on, a shoulder to cry on( though I haven't really cried but I know he would be there), he has taken me away from the woes of my life and cleared up my head to take on the world but in return never, not even once asked for anything.


Oh! How could I be so stupid not to realize that I love you too, my dear  dearest cycle.
(I know cycle is usually a "she" but you know it would have taken the fun away or come to think of it made it more fun)
